    Congress does that every time they pass legislation that they are exempt from. The Feds do that under the guise of "national security". The executive branch does that to roughly half the people when they appoint SC justices, federal and circuit court judges, and with EO's. Nobody in the media is being stopped from reporting it.

    The entire media is not being kept from conversations with Trump. Certain organizations who have shown an inability to maintain their professionalism and bi-partisanship are being treated in a certain sort of way that they have earned. CNN via Donna Brazile fed Clinton town hall debate questions in advance to screw Bernie. ABC and CNN should have never hired her in the first place, given her position as vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

    Let's look at Politico....
    " while there is little evidence of Trump colluding with conservative or right-of-center reporters, there is ample evidence of Hillary Clinton and her Democrat surrogates playing the media’s elite like a violin — including Politico’s own former reporter Maggie Haberman.

    Clinton communications staffers absolutely fawned over Haberman in an email released by Wikileaks during the campaign, saying she was a “friendly” reporter who had “teed up” good stories for Clinton before, and that they had “never been disappointed” by her coverage.....

    We have has a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year,” a memo titled “Earned Media/Next Steps” written by the Clinton communications team said. “We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed. While we should have a larger conversation in the near future about a broader strategy for reengaging the beat press that covers HRC, for this we think we can achieve our objective and do the most shaping by going to Maggie.”

    Haberman is now a star politics reporter at The New York Times, along with Glenn Thrush, another former Politico reporter who the Wikileaks dump revealed was sending stories to the Clinton campaign for approval."

    Lol. Hilarious, and you're worried about Trump telling Politico and the NY Times to take a hike?

    Certain outlets are simply not capable of providing "just the facts, ma'am". They are abusing their protections in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. And still, Trump has done nothing.....repeat nothing....to interfere with their First Amendment rights.

    It's hilarious. These dreadful sons a bitches don't give a shit about free speech. That is only the cloak under which they perpetuate their fraud. If they were actually reporting news it would be one thing. Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. Geaux Trump

    How about believe rather than trust?
